I have a unique situation in this "training" area. I run a local rec league which I have assigned for about 5 years. This fall they opened a new facility with a full length floor and a running track around it. This gave me the ides to offer a few games to our members (local association) at a reduced pay rate. The kicker for me to get them there was they get a tape of the game (I center on one official per game, three games a night) and I get the games covered. I have had 5 people so far come and work (which suprised me, as there are many of our younger officials coming to me during the season saying "how can I get better") and they are very appreciative as to the effort of myself and the people that work for me. I guess that there are not really that many people that want to get better! I sent the email to all our membership, so I guess all of them felt if they cannot get paid to referee, they cannot get better! I wish I would have had someone like me when I was "growing up"!
